i have a post already about my car backfiring on me.well today i fixed that.it turned out to be my timing.anyways after i got the car running good, i go to close the hood and as soon as it closed the car started running like it had lost 2 cylinders. well guess what! it lost all 4 on the drivers side.so i put a diode tester on my injectors and i get a very dim light and it dont flash at all.so its getting very little power, and its not enough to open the injectors right???????. as far as i can see i dont see any fried wires or any loose connections but ill keep on looking.i hope someone had the same problem and can help me out here.im a student at U.T.I. in glendale heights il. and i cant afford to miss class.they are very strict about that crap.but help would be greatly appreciated.

 

This may be dumb, so forgive me for stating the obvious, but did you check the fuses? There's a fuse for each bank of injectors under the dash.

 

hey not a dumb reply at all.how do you know which ones which?

 

With an ohm meter Just check them both and make sure the metal strip that you can see through the fuse isn't open. can't miss it.

 

so its in the car under the dash right.not to sound dumb!but any idea where on the fuse box it is located?

 

Yep, they are under the dash, left of the column. They should be labeled too. Some cars actually still have the little panel cover in place, but mine just has a hole there.

 

thanks man ill check in the morning.if anything else comes to mind let me know.

 

well another ecm didnt work unless it was also bad,i got it from a buddy.i think somebody had this problem before.what about a loose ground?

 

On the firewall side there are 2 ground straps. Check if they are loose. You could take them both off, scrub them out and reinstall too. Coat the ends with dielectric grease

 

I've been considering going to thier Ca campus but I can't seem to find out how much the cost is. Can you give me some idea? The last figure I saw was in the 20-30k range for the full course. That just sounds like too much to me.

 

im paying 24k for auto/deisel/and the hot rod program.its a good school and i just started about 6 weeks ago so were not into trouble shooting yet or else i probably would have had it fixed.i recomend it.
